NFL Draft

Deadline: Thursday, April 28th @ 8:00 p.m.

I got no suggestions from the e-mail I sent last week. So, the consensus from the suggestions that I received last year are that we predict the first 10 picks.

There were a few scoring options but this is what I've got. 1 point for getting the first pick correct, 2 points for getting the second pick correct, 3 points for the third and so on. You stop getting points when you miss a pick.

What you are predicting is the player and the position in which they will be drafted. If any trades happen within the top 10, we are all stuck.

Actual Result: Cam Newton, Von Miller, Marcell Dareus, A.J. Green, Patrick Peterson, Julio Jones, Aldon Smith, Jake Locker, Tyron Smith, Blaine Gabbert
